COD4 is a rubbish comparison, the game wasn't big when it launched, it became big overtime and was an incredibly leggy game. |
I think you either underestimate or don't remember the hype for the first Gears. MS did an absolute fantastic job and I still remember the commercial today. Nothing with that kind of marketing is out for TF yet. Gears was also the top dog in the graphics department when it came out and gameplay was fantastic to boot. It was also one of the first mainstream games to offer cover shooting mechanics and online/offline co op missions to go with regular multiplayer and a decent SP campaign. TF does have some unique things going for it, but from a hype perspective and innovative perspective, the 1st Gears shits on it from a great distance IMHO.
